Guys i have good news and bad news

To people who bought Elite its sort of a bad news, to those who haven't and is thinking about it and to those people who bought and is thinking of getting another one, Microtex Elite is down to 600bucks at Blade and Ace, apparently the owner decided to purchase more Elite towels from Korea and was given an even better discount by the supplier for ordering enough Elite towels for the upcoming years, he decided to not take advantage of the deal and maintain Elite at 900bucks and decided to lower it down to 600bucks, exact same thickness and size, so for those like me that has like 2 more brand new elite sleeping in my storage ready for use anytime the old one wears off, this is bad news haha, but to those looking to get a second one for their second car or to those planning on getting one soon its a nice time to buy except from handyman because they will follow suit next year.

akala ko nagkamali lang ng price tag.tama pala.

may IPA wipe pa ba after ng nano glos kung i-top ng collinite?

mga idols question about pressure washers...

how does those portable pressure washers compare with those pressure washers with the motor and belts showing??? Thinking if i'm gonna buy a pressure washer from quiapo (the one with the motor abd belt showing) or just get one from ACE (compact looking)

I think hindi na.. but I saw one in this thread posted that he does an IPA wipe after the Step 1 dahil may oil pa din daw. Pero with the Nano Glos hindi na ko nag IPA pa. Curing time lang.. 8 hours ginawa ko

kung for personal use lang go for the portable pero kung marami kang sasakyan at gamitin mo daily then go for the other one.

Question regarding wheel wells, safe ba ang kerosene na i-spray sa plastic part ng wheel wells? Dami na kasi dumikit na aspalto eh. TIA.

[indiej]

hardinero, a simple way is to brush your wheel wells with soap, then add trim dressing.

Question regarding wheel wells, safe ba ang kerosene na i-spray sa plastic part ng wheel wells? Dami na kasi dumikit na aspalto eh. TIA.

i believe it was you who was advised to do the same and brushed out some of the undercoat in the wheel well areas and had to get re-rustproofed, hence you have more knowledge and experience about kerosene safety at the wheel wells than most of us. maybe you could give us more tips.

i think the undercoat is a type of asphalt so the stuck asphalt might be a welcome addition to it. Just brush with soap and apply your dressing.

it's safe to wipe (not spray) on the plastic part, but if you're the type who can overspread the kerosene to painted areas like the undercoat, hood, bumper, doors, etc., then be safe and don't do it.

kerosene is safe on my clear coat but its effectivity has a sweet spot at 15 minutes. It melts the asphalt but while it dries, the asphalt hardens again.

[Chikselog]

Hehe ako nga po yun.

Sa rear wheel wells ko po ginawa yun. Hindi kasi plastic yung wheel wells ng rear unlike sa front mostly plastic. And yeah asphalt nga yung rustproof/undercoat ng car natin so don't spray kerosene sa mga rustproofed part ng oto nyo. Noob pa ako nun.

Hyper Dressing
Water Based Dressing

Para sakin mas ok yung Hyper Dressing kasi madami siyang dilution Ratio. Gamit ko parati 3:1 na ratio hindi masyadong makintab yung finish at tumatagal din yung kapit niya. Sa plastic wheel wells gamit ko yung brush na curved yung gamit sa pang linis ng CR at Megs na Super Degreaser. Pag sa rear naman na walang plastic super degreaser lang at pressure washer

[indiej]

Hehe ako nga po yun.

sayang, walang nagcaution sayo. how much and where ang pagpa-undercoat? did you have overspray troubles?

after almost 3 years eh ngaun ko lang gagawin ito..hehe...

bale bro, yung super degreaser eto na yung brand ng mequiars? and 2 degreaser kelangan ko 1 is Hyper dressing for front and the other 1 is super degreaser for rear wheel wells?

[Chikselog]

Di pa po kami nagpapa-undercoat ulit. Anyway, isang part lang naman ng wheel wells yung natanggalan ko ng undercoat while the other parts naman reasonable pa yung undercoat nya. Manipis na pero meron pa naman.

Baka this summer pa-undercoat na kami ulit, update ko po kayo.
